'There's no fuel! We're going down! There's no radar!' Last words of Colombia crash pilot as he pleaded with air traffic controller for help are revealed by fellow airman - We bought $3.92 worth of fuel at last airport and a blunt wrapper!

Five people survived and 76 others were killed when a plane carrying a Brazilian professional soccer team crashed in Colombia, authorities said.

Gen. Jose Acevedo, the head of police in the mountainous area of jungle where the jet came down, confirmed the deaths to reporters early Tuesday. "Six people were rescued alive, but unfortunately one died," he added.

Wishful thinking pal. It would be a great news day hearing about something like that. I always kept my fingers crossed that jets along the lines of a UPS or some other plane with minimal normal people aboard crashed into any of the projects with full fuel tanks.

The pilot was retired CPD. He thought the lush Colombian Rain Forest was an enormous forest preserve like his faves down Palos way. He tried to park that plane backwards for a Yanomamo rompin' rendezvous. Pitch and yaw were all f'ed up. Now he is a puddle of goo on the forest floor.
